Abstract:
A method to produce biofuels from biomass is provide by contacting the biomass with an aqueous media to form an extracted biomass, separating at least a portion of an aqueous liquor from the extracted biomass thereby providing the aqueous liquor stream comprising soluble carbohydrates; contacting the aqueous liquor stream with a purification substrate effective to remove sulfur compounds and nitrogen compounds thereby producing a treated carbohydrate stream having less than 35% of the sulfur content and less than 35% of the nitrogen content of the untreated aqueous liquor feed, based on the untreated aqueous liquor stream, then contacting the treated carbohydrate stream with an aqueous phase reforming catalyst to form a plurality of oxygenated intermediates; and processing at least a portion of the oxygenated intermediates to form a liquid fuel.

Abstract:
A system for producing a hybrid gas includes a pressure vessel containing in its interior a feedstock with at least one set of electrodes between which an electric arc is formed. The at least one set of electrodes is within the pressure vessel and submerged in the feedstock. A fluid system passes the feedstock through a plasma of the electric arc, thereby converting a portion of the feedstock into an arc-produced gas. The arc-produced gas is collected and mixed with at least one supplementary fluid to produce the hybrid gas.

Abstract:
A machine apparatus used for a creation of a combustionable liquid fuel material known as Commercialized Hybrid Hydrogen (CHH) suitable for replacement of petroleum gasoline. Primary objective and conclusion is: the most cost-effective machine apparatus possible for production of CHH. Graphite electrodes immersed underwater are electronically arched. Resulting after combustion carbon molecule emissions ionize with hydrogen and oxygen molecules from the water at about 5000 degrees Celsius. Post-plasmatic discharge rises is captured, refrigerated and pressurized into CHH. All apparatus power requirements are satisfied by CHH internally with the exception of an initial bootstrap power-up cycle. A machine heat exchange run steam turbine provides a secondary energy provision. An internal computer logic flow processing system detects availability of null-costing solar, wind and steam turbine production of electricity prior to using CHH for apparatus power requirements. A recycling consumable graphite rod component furthers existing cost-effectiveness.
Abstract:
A novel method to prepare high-enthalpy biofuels has been developed based on a new chemical pattern which has never been used before in the synthesis of renewable fuels. These biofuels are based on natural oleaginous feedstock, rendering low viscosity liquids with broad liquid range and enthalpy levels much superior to those found in common biodiesel, meaning ethyl or methyl fatty esters. As in the case of biodiesel, these new biofuels contain zero sulfur, causing none of the major pollution associated with commercial diesel. High enthalpy biofuels are aliphatic nitrile compounds, containing a single nitrogen substituent, are chemically aprotic, even though their high degree of polarity is reflected in its high cetane index and solubility parameter. The present invention includes fuels associated with diesel, as well as other high-enthalpy fractions, which according to their boiling point, correspond to naphtha in the lower scale, and bunker in the upper scale.
Abstract:
A method can include (i) tracking, through a supply chain, by a computing device, a carbon containing process input; (ii) tracking, through the supply chain, by the computing device, a hydrocarbon fluid extracted from Earth by injecting the carbon containing process input into a subterranean environment; and (iii) determining, by the computing device, a quantity of fuel, produced from the hydrocarbon fluid, having a carbon intensity value based on sequestration of the carbon containing process input in the subterranean environment and utilization of at least one co-product of the carbon containing process input in the supply chain.
Abstract:
Described herein are modified fuels with improved properties. The modified fuels are more efficient when compared to conventional fuels such as gasoline. Additionally, the modified fuels burn more efficiently and produce fewer emissions. Finally, the modified fuels also do not require any modifications to existing engines.
Abstract:
Crude algae oils are thermally-treated at temperature(s) in the range of 300-600° C., without catalyst and/or the addition of hydrogen, to produce a higher grade, cleaner algae oil with, for example, reduced oxygen, boiling range, viscosity and/or density, and acid number, in addition, because the thermal treatment reduces metals in the oil and produces carbonaceous solids, it is expected that catalyst deactivation by algae oil feedstocks will be greatly reduced if the crude algae oil or fractions thereof are thermally-treated prior to catalytic upgrading. Oxygen, fatty acids, metals, and metalloids are reduced/removed by the thermal treatment, so that RBI) processing of the crude bio-oil may be reduced or eliminated, and requirements for further deoxygenation and hydrotreating of the thermal products are reduced or eliminated.
